From the back pages, May 20: England’s Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson ‘as good as I’ve seen’ – Cook

Alastair Cook’s first Test on home soil as England captain ended in a comfortable win, although it took an hour of supremely destructive fast bowling from Stuart Broad and James Anderson to lend the start of the Ashes summer something resembling a sense of decisive momentum. “We thought that would be a pretty tough chase,” Cook said after England’s 170-run victory. “We knew if we put the ball in the right areas we could cause damage. But there’s still a lot of nerves in there when you walk in in the morning.” (The Guardian)

ELECTIONS - Distorting effects shown here

The arrival of four-party politics in England, and the distorting effects of the “first-past-the-post” voting system are woefully exemplified in West Sussex.

You can’t beat the Coalition Government’s reverse turns. Or can you? Gatwick Airport bosses in July last year - ‘No way we want a second runway.’ In October - ‘Give it to us, please’. It’s the mad, mad world of the aeronautical industry. Gatwick derives from the Anglo-Saxon for goat, and a lot since is plain goatish.
